CHALLENGE. TN the interests of the public and my "*■ principals, I Challenge tho Agent of the New Century Typewriter to produce one scrap of evidence to support his statement that the Austrian-Hungarian Government, have placed a record order for -machines with his Uompany. When this assertion was first made in July last, I wrote Home for information and received a reply from my Company, dated 30th August, denying the statement, and adding that "if .the Austrian Government had ordered 500 New Century Caligraphs it would have been advertised pretty extensively in this country, whereas not a word has reached us in reference to the same.*' Tho public may draw their own conclusions. My Company hoick the record for. the largest order given,. viz., 250 ROYAL BAR-LOCK TYPEWRITERS for the British War Office, and the fact has been published all the world over. However, as record orders do not necessarily prove, anything, I HEREBY CHALLENGE tho Agent of the New Century Caligraph to show his machine against the NEW BALLBEARING BAR-LOCK for £20, the loser to pay some to a local charity. If this Challenge is not accepted within seven days the public may draw their own inferences. * -, Proposed conditions of test: — Speed of Machino Manifolding Capacity Tabulating Facility » Simplicity of Manipulation Lightness of Touch; and General Utility. Points to bo allowed for special features. Each side, to appoint an arbitrator, .and the two selected to choose an umpire. A marked cheque for £20 is tendered with this challenge. E. J. LE GROVE, ISole Agent for tho Ball-Bearing Bar-Lock i Visible Writing Machine, 42, LAMBTON-QUAY.
